All right, before we get youall safe and secure and keep your family
safe and secure in your own home, we want to carry on the conversation
with Mick, because, Mick,we were talking about the tornadoes that went
rapid across Ohio a couple days ago. Did you experience that kind of it
was? I was downtown and wegot to watch I was up on the
(00:24):
eighteen story building watching the clouds.It was cool. You were talking about
the fire girls. Oh yeah,the fire and tornado. Yep, yes,
I remember putting my face into astinky ass, stinky locker. Excuse
was that the best? Your bloodrushes to your head and you're like,
am I going to be able toget out of this stance? Oh?
(00:46):
It was horrible. And when Iwas a kid, my dad used to
watch the weather radar and I was, what are you doing? Dad?
Now I'm doing it. I gotthe going. I'm watching it sometime for
states that aren't even connected to Ohio. There's something that is fascinating about it.
(01:07):
I will say that so many arelike you. I guarantee you that
many are like you. Man.We got to start a club we bore
weather. Bozo's president, mister Mickthat's you. You gotta take charge of
it. I'm not just a president, I'm a member. All right.
Well, thank you so much forlistening and for calling in and continuing the
(01:27):
conversation. We appreciate it. Thankyou. By turning now to Brian Hess
who has created something so remarkable.And Brian, we've talked so many times
before of Tattletale and when you firstgot this thing started, I don't think
you had any idea how big Tattletalewas going to get. Am I on
(01:48):
the air? You are on theair, Brian, you are here with
the ladies. How's everybody? No, I didn't know. Of course,
who knows anything till you get intoit. That is true? What made
you do it? I I kindof want to know some of the origin
story, and so do some ofwhat matters listeners, like, how did
this start? Why do you thinkyou needed to do this? Well,
it hadn't been done before. Soit was a challenge to put cellular in
(02:12):
an alarm panel, and it wasa challenge to make anything portable. And
I have to tell you, guys, I had about eight hundred granted by
the time I got it working.And then a guy by the name of
Sam Goldfarba guardian alarm dealer. Watchme make this thing for a couple of
years. He walked in as Iwas getting ready open up, and he
goes, I know how to beachbox. Now. We had wireless sensors,
(02:32):
we had saulor. We had itwhere it went out in six tenths
of a second like a text.We were texting out of the box where
there was texting on the phones,so the alarm signal when it left,
there was no bringing it back.It was perfect. The guys said,
I'm going to walk in and drownin a bucket of water in first forty
seconds. Why it's waiting for meto turn it off, and I'm going
(02:52):
to win. The alarm systems usedto be hidden, and then when you
make something out in the open,they don't do anything for the first forty
seconds, which is bad. Sowe figured out how to fix that problem.
And then when we fixed that,we patented it, and then we
went on into bulletproof, drill proof, hamperproof. We were like a shrimp
(03:14):
Bubba company. We just fear outhow many ways somebody would try to beat
it, and then we patented thatand we still haven't made all the things
that we patented about being unbeatable.But you know what's so awesome about your
devices is they're pretty easy to work. I mean, you and I were
talking on the phone the other day, and we all have our own personal
stories. And you know, mydaughter being right down there at Ohio State,
(03:38):
her roommate, best friend, teammatewas sick. She was in the
hospital for a while, so thatmeant Cammy was going to be in her
apartment alone for a few days.I mean, she's out of the hospital
now and Cammy's has a roommate back. But those are things that we live
every day, and you don't thinkabout it until it's too late. And
something like that does worry parents,Brian, it does. So as you
(04:01):
saw, I don't have a computeror know how to work a lot of
stuff. So when I set upa tattletell, you put your phone number
in, you put you make upyour own four digit, a text you
you get online and pick out whatpackage you want, if you want any
package. But for your daughter,here's the beautiful thing. She plugs this
in. It's done, there's notsensors, there's no need for any of
(04:23):
the hubbub and it's perfect so youcan plug it in. That's it.
Just takes somewhere else plugs it in. That's it. So what different types
of products are there? Brian?So is there something that I can take
with me on the go, somethingI can put in a dorm room or
my room inside my house. I'ma college student, Like, what all
different things do you guys offer thatyou've put this technology into. You just
(04:46):
need the tattletell itself. So it'sa whole alarm system in a box with
no sensors required. So it's gotto build in motion in a dorm or
an apartment or a condo. That'sall you need. I mean, that's
all I have at my place isone tattletill box. If I want to
add ninety five sensors, you know, I get like you know that guy
boots. Yeah right, Well,the home unit does ninety five sensors,
(05:11):
the pro unit, the commercial onedoes twelve million square feet and talks to
four hundred and fifty sensors. Buthow does it actually work? It's just
smart and it does and it alwayshas. I take it. There's some
proprietary things that we can't know,but yeah, tell us more. You
can know anything you want to know. It's fine with me. I just
(05:33):
think that the cool thing is it'ssupervised and it's got twenty six years on
job sites undefeated. Wow, Soit speaks for itself and its performance.
But for your daughter, like foryour show, this is what I want
to like get to is if yougot a problem, just plug in a
tattletoe, get a tattletoe, andnow your daughter's not alone, and you
(05:56):
know that if something happens, you'regoing to know about it right away and
sell the cops. As many peopleas she puts on the account will know.
But here's the best. When shewalks into that space, she knows
nobody's in there when she goes in, and that's the biggest Yeah, that's
true, that's exactly right, andand anymore, we just can't be we
can't be safe enough because there's somuch crime all across the country right now,
(06:20):
including right here in Ohio. Brian. Yeah, well, I know
I could have a whole talk showmyself about about how that's happening. You
know. You know it's interesting becauseI think I was having this conversation Brian
with a girlfriend recently and it wasnot mindy, but we were talking about
you know the types of folks whoget really nervous walking down a dark pathway
(06:45):
to their door somewhere else during theyou know, during the evening, and
those who don't. Being scared ofthe dark is like one of the top
things. Maybe maybe we were talkingabout this. I'm a person who doesn't
think about it a lot, andmaybe I should think about it more.
For dependance, the keychains, thefobs, how did those help us when
we're on the go? Kind ofexplain that what do they do? They
(07:08):
don't do anything for you on thegoat what they do is more for you
when you're home. So if youthink about crazy crazy as you're watching a
movie and somebody all of a sudden'sin your place and didn't have your alarm
set and you're getting taken on ina time where you were not even on
guard. Ah, So a keychainremote could be a silent panic. And
it's nice to have a couple ofthem spread out around the house, you
(07:31):
know, as to where you canalways hit and get cops silent. Yeah,
you know what, Brian, Therewas a story in the news the
other day and it made me sick. It was a seventy four year old
substitute teacher and he was attacked bya two hundred and eighty pound student.
They called him a manchild, andthey took his chromebook and they hit him
over the head and his face wasbusted up. But you have devices that
(07:56):
are great for instances like that thatschools can use too. Well. Yeah,
here's the big thing. If youwant to go to schools, so
you're the home unit that your daughterhas is perfect, three hundred and ninety
nine bucks, affordable, it's allyou need. But the pro unit for
schools. Here's my biggest concern aboutschools. It's not that somebody gets a
(08:18):
gun and they're easy to stop.It's bad enough when people get shot,
but one person's easy to stop.When you get people breaking into a school
at night and laying and waiting inthe morning, that's the worst. So
we do job sites, so weprotect things outside all the time with no
false alarms. So you can havea school get noticed that there's people on
(08:39):
the property at weird times, flipon cameras and click videos. Nice,
but the most important thing is weknow they're there, go ahead, go
ahead. Then protecting them during theday with a key chain remote for its
school teacher. You know, it'sit's silly to go convince it, teacher
(09:00):
to run over the wall and pusha you know, a coat or a
button on a wall. Right,that's kind of tough when somebody's got a
gun on you. But if youhave one of these in your pocket and
you press it, it's silent.It wakes up the walkie talkies at the
school and says Mindy in room oneoh one, and we know where one
o one is and we know whoMindy is, so we rushed to her
(09:20):
place to save her. And asyou saw in Dallas, it was awful
that those guys were in the hallwayfor that amount of time. I mean,
that's just are you talking about Valdi? What tex You're talk about Uvaldi
down in Texas or somewhere else.Dallas, this is where they's There was
a case in Dallas where they can'troll to The cops were there in the
hallway and uh, they didn't doanything. So it was it was bad
(09:43):
press for the cops. It wasvet situation all round. But school teachers
now are invited to have a gunand they're trained on what to do in
the face of something. So ifyou've got shooters and you got you got
it covered. We'll fire up yourwalkie talking until you got an event taking
place, whether it's a fight orshooter during the day and as well as
(10:07):
call the police. It is atdaytime protection that's cool, but it's the
nighttime thing it gets me. Well, it is brilliant that you thought of
this and that you created this tokeep people, their families, their loved
ones safe and secure. Where canour listeners go to get more information than
(10:28):
to get their own tattletale for theirhome or business. They go to tattletale
dot com. But here's the onething I want you guys to you know
so everybody knows, is when youplug that in, it's got enough horsepower
wirelessly to do twelve million square feetand it'll do two hundred acres, So
a school to walk in the parkfor a tattletale, Yeah it is.
That's incredible, all right, andI think we should start renting them.
(10:54):
So listen, if somebody's got aproblem, I'd like to start it with
your show as a kickoff today.Got a problem, get a tattletale and
you can rent one with an outdoorsensor and a base unit ten bucks a
day, and that includes cops,catch your bad guy, give it back
to us. Everybody's happy, allright. How do people pick up on
(11:15):
that deal? Brian? Go totattletale dot com t A T T l
E t A L E or callthe office at five four oh safe during
the week. It's a six onefour area code and tell them you want
to runt a tattlete can't be thatwell and they heard it on What Matters,
What Matters, Brian, Thank you. Enjoy the rest of this lovely
(11:35):
weather no matter where you are.I'm in Florida and it's awesome. It's
beautiful here, Brian, it's likeFlorida weather here or so Hey, thanks
